He leads a Medical Research Council research programme, now in its fourth quinquennium, which contributes to efforts aimed at preventing the growing burden of diabetes, obesity and related disorders by translating epidemiological knowledge into preventive action, and evaluating the effectiveness of a range of strategies from behaviour change to screening. He has completed over 35 trials and authored over 460 publications which have been cited around 30000 times (Google scholar h-index: 87), but what he really likes to do is surf.
